## 🚀 Immediate Next Steps

### Priority 1: Database Persistence (High Priority)
**Estimated Time:** 3-4 hours

Currently sessions only exist in memory. Add SQLite for development:

```bash
# Add to requirements.txt
sqlalchemy==2.0.23
aiosqlite==3.0.10
alembic==1.13.0
```

**Benefits:**
- Persist sessions across restarts
- Enable save/load functionality
- Foundation for multi-user features
- No data loss during development

### Priority 2: Character Profile System (MVP Phase 2)
**Estimated Time:** 1-2 days

Implement race/class/personality system as designed in MVP roadmap.

**Key Features:**
- Profile creation wizard
- Race/class/personality dropdowns
- Profile-based LLM prompts
- Character import/export (JSON & PNG)

### Priority 3: Typing Indicators (Quick Win)
**Estimated Time:** 1 hour

Add WebSocket events for typing status:
- "Character is typing..."
- "Storyteller is typing..."
- Visual indicator in UI
